Got my 800D yesterday, early preparation for my Sandy Bridge build. Thought I'd read this thread for water cooling ideas. Hours and 204 pages later, I'm convinced I made the right purchase for my first water cooled rig.

Of the dozens of water cooled rigs in this thread (done by actual users of this forum), my favorites in terms of performance (smart and efficient cooling) and style were:

Kick-ass considering it was his first water cooled. I'll be happy if mine looks half as good.

In general, I think to get the most out of water cooling this case you'd want to mod the bottom like the three above have done to add a 240mm radiator.

I'm still debating if I want to mod the bottom, which makes selling the case in the future difficult, or just attach a 360 or 480 externally on the rear as I've come across some people doing (which would probably yield better cooling than the 240 method--but wouldn't be as tidy looking).Edited by velocd - 12/19/10 at 1:09am
